It may be fashionable to hate on Kanye these days, from the recent release of his $250 dollar Air Yeezy's, to his constant and at this point anticipated self righteous quotes, for example,
"I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform." (metro.co.uk)
But today I got nothing but love for "G's V". In truth, I like the Air Yeezys. No surprise there as I have an affinity for all high tops that look like a piece of animated wardrobe from Space Jam. And I always get a kick out of his verbal faux pas (or as far as he's concerned "The Gospel According to Yeezy"). But most of all, I love this video. It took place during the Grammys (I know; way late) but as one reviewer hinted at, this is the best Franco-American collaboration since WWII. Daft Punk are legends in their own right, and although musically/technically speaking this may not be the most "insane" performance, it is a visual throw-down. Kanye holds it down relatively nicely, mainly because he sticks to rapping and not trying to 'sing' through an auto-tune, and the boys in Daft look like they're auditioning for the Tron sequel (which would be tight by the way). Yes, I know D.P. is doing nothing on those screens but looking bas-ass, but even so, it is one of the sickest performances I've ever seen on network television (via internet). Anyways, peep the video, it's dope.
